I too am saddened by the state of South Africa. My father was one of the organizers of the first inter-racial volleyball league in the country during Aparteid. He worked tirelessly to promote cooperation and understanding between blacks and whites. He believed that the native African people could rise up and create a beautiful future together with the whites who lived among them. Unfortunatelly, the Apartheid government didn't appreciate his efforts and he and my mother were forced to leave SA and come to the US. They were blissfully happy when Nelson Mandela took power because they thought it was the beginning of the future they wished for.
